[Water-only hair washing] After 2 weeks, I switched to 'mini-shampooing'

I started washing my hair with only water.

After about a week, my hair loss decreased dramatically.

That's fine, but I still find the stickiness of my scalp bothersome.

September was still hot, and I had opportunities to sweat while jogging.

That's when I found this article.

This part is really helpful.

I was having doubts about water-only washing.

So, instead of being stoic about only using water, I tried switching to water-only washing followed by 'mini-shampooing' (a little bit of shampoo).

The doctor mentioned above uses 1/4 of a pump.

I use an amount that comes out with as close to zero pressure as possible.
Just a few millimeters.

I use this shampoo.

I use this one for the season when scalp dryness is a concern.
It works very well, and I've been repeating it for two seasons now.

Well, after trying water-only washing followed by 'mini-shampooing',

It feels absolutely amazing!!!

Lather a small amount of shampoo in your palms, gently massage your scalp and hair, and rinse it off.

A refreshing feeling I haven't felt in a while.

The 'Gentle Shampoo Brush' I bought at Seria, using two of them—one in each hand—to massage my scalp is pure bliss.

Success's menthol cooling sensation is a lifesaver.

Shampoo, rinse, and dry with a hair dryer.

When I touch my head, the stickiness has drastically decreased.
I'm also not worried about the smell of my scalp.

So, for the time being, I've decided to make water-only washing my base, and use shampoo as needed depending on how sticky my scalp feels.

It's going to get colder and drier from here on out.

If I feel like I'm stripping away too much sebum and it starts to itch, I'll stick mainly to water-only washing.

If it feels extra sticky, I'll use a little shampoo to freshen up.

I think I'll try to be flexible with it.

Things will probably change once it starts getting dry.

I'll summarize it here once I find out more.

That's all from the field.

I've been really into OxiClean lately.

I bought the huge 2kg+ size at Costco, so I'm using it for everything from my regular laundry to cleaning the bathroom.

Soaking white Converse sneakers in OxiClean is the best; they turn back to white so satisfyingly.

By the way, the Converse LIGHT OX series is super lightweight and comfortable to wear. The simple design makes them versatile for many occasions.
One thing to note is that they are narrow, so if you have wide feet, be sure to try them on first. Amazon is great because you can try them on at home for free.
